InDesign CS3 installation issue, insert disk when in already

[becky_z...@adobeforums.com]

when installing indesign cs3 after installing shared components i'm told to inert disk into cd-rom when it's already there. no other option offered, browse or anything, only option to just cancel install.

You have to copy all install files to HD, then change the
file deployment.xml as follows:

---
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<Deployment>
<Properties>
</Properties>

<Payloads>
<!-- Adobe InDesign CS3 -->
<Payload adobeCode="{24D77A7C-E10B-4057-9974-FAB8BFDAC853}">
<Action>remove</Action>
</Payload>
</Payloads>
</Deployment>
---

This made the trick for me...
and I could install CS3 without further issues.

Just to clarify:

After getting the original files to the harddrive
RENAME the xml files in the root directory of the installer

* RENAME DeploymentInstall.xml to deployment.xml

* RENAME DeploymentRemove.xml to uninstall.xml

After renaming DeploymentInstall.xml to deployment.xml
REMOVE the lines of code listed below

[remove section start]
<!-- Set this to reflect desired install location. -->
<Property name="INSTALLDIR">C:\Program Files\Adobe</Property>

<!-- Set this to reflect desired install language. -->
<!-- Available languages: -->
<!-- en_GB -->
<!-- en_US -->
<Property name="installLanguage">en_US</Property>
</Properties>
[remove section end]

NOTE - THIS IS WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM ------------>
the code in the original DeploymentInstall.xml file above is telling the
installer to look in drive C for the CD and if you are like me you are
not installing from the C drive - BUT if you remove the above lines of
code after renaming the file it will force the installer to
seek a relative path - in other words no matter what drive you put the
repaired CD it will work!

After renaming DeploymentRemove.xml to uninstall.xml
COPY and PASTE the code below OVER the code in the original file?

the code should be:

[code]

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<Deployment>
<Properties>
</Properties>

<Payloads>
<!-- Adobe InDesign CS3 -->
<Payload adobeCode="{24D77A7C-E10B-4057-9974-FAB8BFDAC853}">
<Action>remove</Action>
</Payload>
</Payloads>
</Deployment>

[/code]

After renaming the abovementioned xml files and then editing the code in
them you can then install by clicking on the SETUP file while the files
are still on your harddrive or burn to CD and install from there

FYI - the CD volume label is ADBEIDSNCS3

I tried the procedure above but still have no luck.
The installer is still asking for the CD despite the fact
that I'm installing from my C:/ drive.

Is there any other thing I can try? I would really love to have this work.

Thanks in advance!

I used Mark Russinovich Process Explorer to find out what was going on. (google for sysinternals and you’ll find it at the microsoft website; they have lots of other handy goodies)

I found that the installer could not find d:\Adobe CS3
\ payloads \ AdobeALMAnchorServiceAll\AdobeALMAnchorServiceAll.msi

Of course it could not. The file was in d:\Adobe Photoshop CS3
\ payloads \ AdobeALMAnchorServiceAll\

(d:\ being my dvd drive with installation CD)

notice the two different names for the adobe folders

So I copied my installation folder (Adobe Photoshop CS3) to the hard drive, renamed it to “Adobe CS3&#8243; and reran the installation. No problems!!
